I've played this game for a long long time and have only played castle wars maybe once and hated every second of it and I never went back and I doubt I will even if they change the tickets. However, there isn't much for compromise here from what I've seen. People want the tickets increased so they can get the halo and leave. While other people don't want them changed at all for the epeen factor of getting the armor. Why not just make the halo cheaper, don't touch the tickets rewarded, and keep everything else the same price? That way everyone is happy. The people who don't want to play castle wars can blow through it quick for the halo and the people who do want to play it can still keep grinding away and the armor sets aren't devalued at all. Just my two cents.

Also remember the people that will come after the increase will not have even been there in the first place!! castlewars will not be hurt by the changeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee unless ofc u value your ego that much that you refuse to play because other players are getting mini game rewards bwahahahahahaha

There probably will be an influx of people, but how many of them will actually play the game and continue playing the game long after they get their rewards? There will probably be even more AFKers, because anyone who wants to get the rewards can AFK and achieve them way faster than the people who did before.

What you're not understanding is the people who play every single day and keep the theme world alive are going to leave. There's a decent amount of people with 10k+ tickets who earned them at a rate over 8x slower, and slower even before that (original ticket rate was 2 for win, 1 for tie, 0 for loss.) They've been there for years.

I highly doubt it's going to have an influx of a few hundred people who stop playing the rest of the game entirely and only play OSRS for cwars. That's the only thing keeping world 334 alive right now, and if you actively play you should see majority of the people playing the game and not AFKing are the people who've been playing every single day for the past few years.

They've all decided they're moving onto the p server which won't be named after this update happens. It's already annoying dealing with people AFKing / wasting barricades to splash, and so many more of those people are going to be playing in world 334 now to get their rewards. The existing serious cwars community has made up their mind that they're not dealing with that, and will gladly play on an invite only server just to dodge people like this and not waste time making money to play the game when there's no incentive anymore because tickets will be worthless and not an achievement.

Back in a day we only had just a map and we figured out for ourselves where we where and how to get to certain areas, it's nice to have a map right there but don't make the game too easy, Challenge the players the easier the game is the less motivated people become.

Why was adding Stealing Creations to RS07 not a poll question? I just don't get it. 07 is about the players, yet a thread with over 130 pages of support is ignored for updates like this? Fml Jagex staff are TERRIBLE. It's kind of sad that rs07 at the time of me posting this has 31k people playing it whilst RS3 only has 18k. If only Jagex didn't ruin RS. I Want Stealing Creations in 2007 Runescape!

Prayer capes still useless with this poll. Anyone can just go do an easy quest and get holy wrench which does the same thing as a 99 cape. Make it stack with holy wrench or make it recharge prayer once per day or something.

I'm right there with you LegacyMarvel. I LOVED stealing creation, however, the devs have said that they will not bring back this content because they don't want to re-create what was already there. They are interested in going in a new direction, hence LMS, raids...they want to come up with their own content and mini games that hopefully us players will love. But oh how I miss sweet sweet SC. I would honestly pay double my membership fee just to play it again in OSRS.

I appreciate the updated changes in reducing ticket price for halos and mage/range gear. I think this will strike a compromise for the CW community and the pures wanting said gear.

The only issue I see is that adding an activity bar to Pest Control may hurt those who are defending the Void Knight. If there aren't enough pests invading the castle, the defenders may get labeled as "inactive" when in fact they are doing a good thing for the round. Just my 2 cents.

I see these updates making he game easier to play, I really would hate the old school runescape go the same direction as the rs3 now, jagex should keep it as old school as possible like for instance having the layout old school button for main menu map worlds maybe even have the music to be brought back scape original to the log in screen.

Ooh, I like you, Jenesis! :D

The map looks like it's coming along quite nicely. I can't wait - it will make location hunting for clue scrolls a bit more streamlined, in my opinion.

I skipped through most of the questions provided, as they are all about skillcapes... which I don't have. yet. maybe. someday. eventually.

The Castle Wars one, I hesitate a bit on. Those reward items are... well, they're hardly top tier gear. One could say that they'd only be worth the effort of earning for the bragging rights. You were skilled/determined/lucky enough to win in Castle Wars enough times to earn those items. I don't see a reason to lower the ticket amount for them, so why not leave them as is? I'd like to see the reasoning, unless you've explained it in a previous post that I missed. Started in 2005... What have I done with my life Proud of it!
